32 results about "Transgenic Rats" patented technology

Transgenic rats are rats that have foreign DNA inserted into their genome. This means one or more genes from a non-rat organism (i.e. human, fish, plant or jellyfish) has been added, through some tricks of modern molecular biology, to every one of a trangenic rat’s cells.

Method for establishing humanized rat drug evaluation animal model

The invention provides a method for establishing a humanized rat drug evaluation animal model. According to the method, a multidrug resistance gene 1 (Abcb1)-knocked-out genetically engineered rat is obtained through a microinjection method by virtue of a CRISPR / Cas9 gene knockout technology and 153kb bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) fragments containing a humanized Abcb1 promoter and cDNA is simultaneously inoculated into the rat genome through the microinjection method by virtue of a large fragment transgenic technology to obtain a transgenic rat capable of stably expressing human Abcb1 and the genetically engineered rat and the transgenic rat are hybridized to establish the humanized rat drug evaluation animal model. RT-PCR analysis shows that Abcb1 expression profiles of humanized Abcb1 rat are significantly different from those of the rat endogenous Abcb1. The method has the beneficial effects that the humanized rat capable of expressing human Abcb1 is obtained and the rat is used for expressing human Abcb1 genes and has closer expression profiles to those of human so that the model can be well used for the efficacy evaluation of newly developed drugs.

Use of crispr/cas9 as in vivo gene therapy to generate targeted genomic disruptions in genes bearing dominant mutations for retinitis pigmentosa

Described herein are methods and compositions for genomic editing. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic (CRISPR) allows for highly selective targeting and alteration of genetic loci. Here, the Inventors demonstrate CRISPR as capable of being used in living animals to prophylactically prevent a genetic disease from manifesting. Targeting and disruption of mutated rhodopsin gene prevents progression of retinitis pigmentosa in the retinal cells of a transgenic rat model. Such techniques allow for treatment methods in subjects with dominant genetic mutations, often associated with lack of a gene product, or a toxic gene product. The described technology effectively abrogates deleterious effects due to the presence of a mutated gene copy allowing the normal function of the wild-type protein to prevent cell and vision loss. The efficacy of these in vivo mechanisms are widely extensible to similar dominant negative gene mutations causing disease, or other types of genetic disease.

Transgenic rat as animal model for human huntingdon's disease

Huntington's Disease (HD) is an autosomal-dominant inherited progressive neurodegenerative disease from the group of CAG repeat / polyglutamine diseases and is characterized by a triad of psychiatric alterations, dementia and motor dysfunction. On a sub-cellular level, a mutation with extended CAG tri-nucleotide repeats has been identified as the cause of HD. The therapeutic effects of certain substances can be tested on neurotoxically-induced or transgenic animal models with expanded CAG-repeats. In the present invention, transgenic rats were generated and characterized for human HD. Said rat model for human HD and other diseases of the CNS carries 51 CAG repeats under the control of a rat promoter and has a slow progressive neurological phenotype, closely reflecting human HD syndrome. The comparability of the rat model in relation to human HD is characterized by neuropathological, neuroradiological and neurochemical modifications accompanied by typical behavioral symptoms.

The present invention provides an animal model which overexpresses regucalcin, a calcium-binding protein that is inherently expressed in the liver and the like of the higher animal, and which is characterized by a showing of bone pathology typified by osteoporosis. When regucalcin expression is lowered, it induces other physiological abnormalities. In the present invention, cDNA encoding the full length of regucalcin protein was cloned from a rat liver cDNA library, ORF was cut out, and introduced into an expression vector (pCXN2). The pCXN2 gene expression vector containing ORF cDNA was microinjected into the male pronucleus of a fertilized egg of rat which was subsequently transplanted into the uterine tube of a host rat to generate transgenic rats homozygous for regucalcin. The transgenic rats are characterized by remarkable bone pathology, morphologically as well as biochemically, and by significant suppression of body weight gain, and are therefore useful for screening of preventive and therapeutic agents related to bone diseases.
